title: [Tendon sutures with a new monofilament synthetic absorbable suture material (PDS-suture of 6-0 strength). Results of animal experiments].
abstract: The absorbable synthetic suture (PDS suture 6-0 with spatula needle) was examined by experiments on the tendon of the M. flexor digitorum pedis communis of the hare. A total of 34 tendon sutures was prepared histologically and evaluated. The new suture material is distinguished by greatly extended absorption time, low foreign body reaction and an improved tensile strength. With this suture, the conditions in which absorbable suture material can be used are increased. This is particularly true of so-called bradytrophic tissue.
